PRESTON, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westinghouse Electric Company announced today that its Westinghouse
Springfields site was named the recipient of the company’s inaugural
Quest for Zero award. The company’s Quest for Zero safety initiative was
introduced in August 2016 to challenge all Westinghouse locations and
employees to implement proactive safety activities and reinforce proper
safety behaviors.

“Springfields’ participation in the Quest for Zero and drive to reduce
risks and eliminate hazards has been extraordinary,” said José Emeterio
Gutiérrez, interim president and chief executive officer, in presenting
the award on April 25. “Their efforts toward continual risk
identification and hazard elimination have led to more than 2.3 million
hours worked without a Westinghouse recordable injury.”

The site shares lessons learned companywide and also integrates them
into daily operations. This is one of the many characteristics that led
to the facility’s recommendation for ISO 14001:2015 certification,
making Springfields the first Westinghouse site to achieve this status.

Additionally, employees at Springfields were recently honored for their
safety efforts by RoSPA, the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Accidents. Springfields has been recognized 17 years in succession by
RoSPA, receiving the prestigious Order of Distinction this year after
receiving 16 consecutive Gold Awards from the organization.
